We are a family from Melbourne staying in Caloundra where dinner choices are poor and no great places to book in this area of Caloundra. Kids wanted pizza so did the search and found this place. Food looks great and was delicious. Pizzas are Woodfire and ingredients fresh. Service was great too and very friendly. Highly recommend venturing out of area and going here.
